Warhammer 40k: Blood & Iron
Version
2.42
Warhammer 40k: Blood & Iron updated to version 1.2110
Overview
-NOTICE: It's highly suggested you start a new map to take full advantage of many new locations and features. Use World Edit to copy and save your base so you can paste it into the new map. It's included in the pack for your convenience.
-NOTICE: you can't play in groups anymore. the RPG system interferes with it. It won't matter, because the benefits outweigh the drawbacks
-NOTICE: you should let your world be called Nwe World if you want the initial map beacons
-added character development. SPECIAL stats, 40 levels, 14 skills, 112 skill related abilities, and 80 perks define your character.
-added troop questlines for imperium and lost & damned. raise and command your own NPC armies! many different types of troops for both sides
-vehicles are back and look better than ever! upcoming updates will add a skill tree that has the exclusive ability to make them, so the recipes will be changing a lot
-added mayor skill. establish a town hall, call in settlers, get work done, establish order, get your own merchants, transporters and more
-keep inventory is on by default, and cannot turn off. you now must pay energy to get lives instead
